Intriguing, if not mysterious
This label, here quoted verbatim, appears on bottles purporting to contain 2010 Sauvignon Blanc from an Estate called Tokoeka
"A brilliant pale straw green colour. Typical Marlborough Sauvignon aromas of grapefruit, box-wood, pea-pods, tobacco and tomato leaf with an intriguing goosebury yoghurt like complexity. The palate is fresh and full of vigour. Flavors of passionfruit, melon and grapefruit are balanced by limey acidity and good fruit sweetness. The palate is well structured and tapers to a long, lingering finish. A classic Marlborough statement."
All this for ten bucks. As well, it's a simple, grassy flavour.
What I want to know is, how do these spin-doctors know what box-wood tastes like? Or peapods? Don't they know you eat the little round things? And tomato leaves?.... It must be half a century since people were smoking them?
I can't wait till the RWC is over and this site comes back to life again
Oh! And how do you come at " limey acidity"? Now that's truly paradoxical

Yeah, the wine is really quite nice, but the rave on the label is exceptionally wonderful. Grapefruit gets mentioned twice!! I grew up on a citrus orchard. I think I'm qualified to say, the grapefruit flavors in that wine are sheer fantasy, both of them
